Speedy deletion nomination of VolunteerMatch Solutions


A tag has been placed on VolunteerMatch Solutions, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be a clear copyright infringement. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 20:55, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for message. I deleted your article because
 * it did not provide adequate independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Although you provided some references, much of the text is unsourced, and there is no apparent claim of notability. You tell us nothing factual about the organisation, it's just spam. There is nothing about how many employees, how you are funded, where you spend your funding. You don't even bother to say where your headquarters are
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. The whole article is basically spam, but a few examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: ...best known... aims to strengthen communities by making it easier for people to find good causes... to help companies, brands, campuses and government successfully manage... products like VolunteerMatch Solutions become more relevant... This product helps connect companies with volunteer opportunities. Hours and events are tracked to help the employee volunteer program stay on track and grow.... This allows companies to use VolunteerMatch Solutions, but their way...Organizations and nonprofits can benefit from this tool as well&mdash; and on and on promoting your services with zero facts to back up the claims
 * The ™ symbol is an infallible sign that spam is on its way. It's not our job to protect your trademark
 * This year's Summit will be held in Oakland, CA on December 1 and 2. Registration opens June 2015.&mdash; We are not a platform for advertising your conference
 * You have an obvious conflict of interest when it comes to editing articles about this subject. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that your organisation is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Requested articles for the article to be created. See also Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.

Not a reason for deletion, but note that External links should have only your main page. People who want social media etc. can find it there. With some misgivings, I'll shortly post the text here. Note that the article is still liable to deletion as spam, so I suggest that you take a copy and/or get to work on it asap. If there is no activity within a few days. , I'll delete it myself. If you recreate, bear in mind that we are an encyclopaedia, not free advertising, and write in your own words. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain.
